The brazen fanatic appears to have snapped a picture of himself on a busy New York street

In another snap a fanatic poses in an ISIS-branded scarf in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The disturbing selfies came after the terror group's media channels ramped up their threats to the Big Apple over the festive period.

A NYPD spokesman said: “The NYPD is aware of the photographs. As with all terror related threats, the NYPD is looking into the incident. At this time there are no credible threats related to New York City.”

The disturbing selfies come as the supporters of the terror group released another poster urging attacks in churches with knives.
